Casey Anthony to face the death penalty after all
It doesn’t pay to go off to WalMart right after work. It seems a ton of news was breaking as I was wandering through WallyWorld.
The first thing that caught my eye was that Florida prosecutors have decided to seek the death penalty against Casey Anthony after all. You’ll remember, the death penalty was taken off the table a while back, but that was before Caylee’s remains were found. I’ve heard so many people (TV pundits and so forth) say that they didn’t think there was a strong case against Casey. I think they might be wrong….I don’t think the state would be trying for the death penalty if they didn’t think they had a decent shot at getting it.
What really gets to me is Jose Baez’s reaction to the news. Here is what he had to say:
“This is not a death penalty case. We will do whatever is necessary to defend Casey Anthony from the State trying to take her life. We already have death-qualified defense lawyers on our team and are prepared for a vigorous defense,” he said.
NOT a death penalty case?! Excuse me, but Caylee was found DEAD. There’s no evidence whatsoever that “Zanny the Nanny” existed anywhere besides in Casey’s imagination. The last person to see Caylee was her mother. The trash bag, laundry bag, and duct tape all appear to be the same as what was found in the Anthony home. What more does Baez need for it to be a “death penalty case”?!
Full story below.
Prosecutors Seek Death Penalty in Casey Anthony TrialORLANDO, Fla. — Florida prosecutors will seek the death penalty against Casey Anthony, who is charged with murdering her young daughter, Caylee Anthony.
A spokeswoman for the State Attorney’s Office in Orlando said Monday that prosecutors have filed papers seeking to have Anthony executed if she is convicted of first-degree murder.
Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, said that Anthony’s defense was prepared to fight.
“This is not a death penalty case. We will do whatever is necessary to defend Casey Anthony from the State trying to take her life. We already have death-qualified defense lawyers on our team and are prepared for a vigorous defense,” he said.
Anthony claimed that 2-year-old Caylee was kidnapped and has pleaded not guilty. Hundreds of volunteers helped search for the toddler after she was reported missing last summer.
Anthony was arrested last October. Caylee’s body was found in woods near her home last December.
I am really upset by the news that casey could get the death penelty if she is convicted of murder.It makes me feel sick to my stomach as I will never advocate the death penelty in any circumstance,especially not in this case.I know people will put me down for my view but I am someone who has learned through life to always say what you feel.
Has not this family lost enough without now losing their daughters life,the media needs to back off cindy and george anthony because they have really been putting them through the ringer,I actually cried watching cindy and george at mr morgans depositions i felt so sorry for them george is a broken man.
Allthough there is circustancial evidence that casey is responsible for caylees death,there is in my view room for doubt and that someone else is involved her defence certainly know or have evidence of that fact. I wrote to casey some time ago and told her to tell LE eveything she knew and that god loves all his children no matter what or how we have sinned,I told her she was not alone and to look to her gaurdian angel for support,so please I ask you let us not condem this girl to death let those who have never sined cast the first stone.
Caroline: you left out a few cliches, such as “it’s always darkest before the dawn” and “a rolling stone gathers no moss.” I respect faith, but it has no place in a court of law.
Personally, I’d rather Ms. Anthony spend the rest of her wasted, useless life in prison. I want her to grow old, sick and bitter as she realizes she will never again see the inside of a night club, wear pretty clothes and makeup, steal from her own family, manipulate the indulgent unwitting around her. That’s a much worse fate than death for her–death is too good, and too easy for this soulless vessel.
Scott Peterson was convicted and sentenced to death for the death of his wife yet they never found a body of hers. I am curious as to why the death penalty was taken off the table to begin with? Could it be because Casey Anthony has a vagina — and a well bored out one considering her need for super sized tampons.
I could not see Casey spending the rest of her life in prison since she’s a bisexual she’d take comfort in finding some dopey convict female to shack up with and have little fun times with. Being on death row means she’ll be alone all the time in her single occupant cell and hopefully when she’s executed her parents and brother wouldn’t be able to attend due to being in prison themselves for lying under oath and obstruction of justice. That way, she could truly die alone with nobody who gave a crap about her around. Tough crap for her too. When does she get to lap dance old sparky or lay down for the gurney?
I have to say that the Death Penalty is warranted in some situations. This is one. You kill your baby, dispose of her body, not contact anyone that she is missing, and lie about everything to cover your butt? Yea, Casey Anthony doesn’t deserve any better. If there was one shred of evidence that pointed to someone other than Casey, then I would say no…Not the Death Penalty. I’m sad for her family and what they must be going through. (They didn’t do it!). Casey is a spoiled, self centered girl that has always gotten what she’s wanted. She doesn’t know the meaning of compassion unless it involves herself. She may find out now that she’s going to finally get something that she doesn’t want.
I’m sorry… I have to say that I don’t think that Casey should get lwop… That’d be too good for her! Then again it might not be… She should either rot in jail and remember her the last expression on her daughters face when she killed her… every night before she falls asleep! Sure she cried after she was caught… but I think she cried for herself not for her daughter! How one can kill their own children is beyond me! God will give her her judgement day soon enough! I believe in the word of the Lord, and believe that He shall condemn her in His own way in due time! Death Penalty… only 2 reasons for me to believe in it… 1: you take the life of an innocent young person for no reason other than you’re selfish and 2: you rape and murder someone for no reason other than for selfish reasons!
Also, concerning the Lacey Peterson who was murdered by her husband Scott… they did find her body and that of Connor’s! How else do you think he got the death penalty? Enough said there.
i have been following this case from the start,and let me just say that it takes a very”sick”woman that would harm her child in any way at all!!!!!!!!! this woman,casey is a monster!!!!!!!!! my daughter,stephanie,22,was killed in a car accident in 1999 and i have been forever heartbroken!!! to lose a child is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how in this world a mother could do that is beyond any thing i can comprehend!!!!!!!!!! SHE MUST BE FULL OF DEMONS !!!!!!! GIVE HER LIFE,WITM NO PAROLE !!!!! MOM AND DAD ANTHONY DON’T NEED TO CARRY THE HEARTBREAK OF CASEY’S DEATH,THEY HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH. THANKS AND GOD BLESS ALL CHILDREN.
I would not want to be on that jury.. What happened to Caylee was horrible and if Casey did it then it is the jury who must decide. Let’s let them bear this burden. I cannot imagine who could do this to their own child. If she did it then I believe there are others who must bear some guilt for her actions, either before she killed Caylee or after. I wonder how much money is influencing some of the family’s actions. It is sad to think that Caylee lived with this dysfunction.
I still think the knowledge of who Caylee’s father is will answer a lot of questions. I cannotunderstand why Cindy a nurse would “smell death” and then go and wash things in the car.
I have to disagree with the statement that Scott Peterson’s wife was NEVER discovered. They indeed find her body and that of the unborn child. I don’t know where you got your information, but she was found. And I won’t go into detail as to the condition of her body was found.
